Immigration Enforcement (IE) is a law enforcement command within the Home Office, responsible for enforcing immigration law across the United Kingdom.[1] The force was part of the now defunct UK Border Agency from its establishment in 2008 until Home Secretary Theresa May demerged it in March 2012 after severe criticism of the senior management.[2] Immigration Enforcement was formed on 1 March 2012, becoming accountable directly to ministers.

The force's responsibilities include is preventing abuse, tracking immigration offenders and increasing compliance with immigration law.[1] Its officers are warranted as immigration officers, holding various powers of arrest and detention. Officers work in the UK and overseas, including inland and at air and sea ports, often in partnership with Border Force.[1] The work of Immigration Enforcement is monitored by the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration.
